Matthew Stephen makes "prophetic" death threats to Rick Wiles (of Trunews)

8/19/15 UPDATE: Matthew's minstry partner Stephen Bening (show in this video) left Matthew's ministry midway through 2015. Gee, I wonder why! PLEASE NOTE: the spelling of Mr. Bening's first name in the video should be with a "ph" and not a "V". I just figured after hearing him say, "I don't really care about you," that misspelling his name won't matter much to him. Which is worse: my use of an alternate spelling, or him and his partner twisting scriptures to avoid rebuke? (i.e. 1 Chronicles 16:22 & Psalm 105:15) The phrase, "Touch not Mine anointed," is part of a thanksgiving song that king David wrote while reflecting on God's divine physical protection of Israel as they traveled from nation to nation, kingdom to kingdom. In context, "touch not" refers to physical harm, it does NOT mean "question not." It certainly does not give even a legitimate prophet permission to speak out a death curse in God's name! Far too often these verses are used as a defensive or offensive weapon (in this case both) by those proclaiming to be God's segregate voice. It's possible that certain people are enticed by the office of "prophet" because it makes great cover for their controlling personalities. I suspect this is the motivation of Mr. Stephen and Mr. Bening when I consider that fact that their prior careers were in high-level positions. Matthew has indeed vaguely predicted some significant events; then again, so has the psychic at the end of my street - who may be using the same "source." Unlike the psychic, Matthew and his partner's copout predictions are conveniently proceeded by "maybe" or "I think ", so anyone studying current events and longterm patterns could be equally "successful" at predicting certain things; but I don't currently know of any "prophets" who are as contrary to the role model of Jesus. It's a crying shame how these men seem to think that God's "anointed" are exempt from exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit (i.e. peace, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self-control, etc.). Apparently their primary purpose is to "call in God's judgments." I don't know about "calling in judgement," but I know we should all use good judgment. And as far as I know, the greatest gift of the Spirit is Love, not condemnation. If you would like to respond to either of these two wrecking balls (to put it politely), you can email Matthew Stephen at [email protected] and Stephen Bening at [email protected]
